Hey guys, I know this is probably a you get what you pay for type of thing but I am just looking for a definitive answer on the difference of the PRO Civic and eBay grill. I know I'm being a cheap skate but the PRO Civic is 177.95 and eBay is 99.99. To me cost savings on a non "performance" part is worth it if the eBay grill is decent quality. The difference in price I can see is PRO gives you a basic front emblem and the eBay grill does not, which I will not be using the provided emblem and will purchase the FD2 emblem. Visually the only difference I can see is there is no backing to where the emblem mounts on the eBay grill and the PRO does. I'm wondering if this will cause problems properly mounting the emblem to the eBay grill. Pictures bellow for reference:

*I kind of jumped the gun on posting this as there are a million threads out there on this subject. So I'll take the L and look more before I post next time but I figured I'd compile what I found on my search since they are scattered all over. Here are pics(links and owners listed below) I pulled from the forums that shows the emblems installed and seems that the eBay grill is able to mount securely to the grill without any issues:
